When adults finally act like adults, children always win

See, my dad was shitty to my mom. Cheating on her is awful. Cheating on her repeatedly is even worse. Even as a kid I could see the psychological damage it did to her. And having experienced it in my young 20s, I sympathize with her even more.

The lady my dad ended up with was a friend of the family and knew damn well he was married.

My mom never ever asked me to dislike my step mom, but I always decided it on my own. What they did is fucked up, and even as a kid I understood that.

I'm old enough now that I'm civil with both of them. I'm cool with my dad and I have been for many years. I don't hate him for what he did but I sure as fuck will not ever approve of it. We talk multiple times per week, but bet I see my mom every day.

Idk. Everyone is different I guess.
